Chapter 147 Alexander's Life-and-Death Friends
As soon as Elizabeth spoke, the people in the room fell into chaos.
It had been known to all that Alexander had recently brought back a woman from out of town, and it seemed like he had a grudge against her. Now, hearing Elizabeth speak, it must be her.
Today, Alexander brought Elizabeth over. Was he planning to present her as a toy for his friends?
Alexander leaned his cold, ruthless face close to Elizabeth's ear and whispered, "Are you in such a hurry to reveal your identity?"
Elizabeth's expression remained calm. "Yes." She didn't say anything more.
Coming here, she didn't need to say much and didn't even know what to say, just needing to follow Alexander's arrangements.
Keeping silent, Alexander really wanted to strangle Elizabeth!
Among those present today, four were his friends who had been through thick and thin with him. Back then, Alexander was alone in the Windsor family, with a status even lower than a servant. Not only did he have no inheritance rights in the Windsor family, but he couldn't even engage in any business related to the Windsor family.
To put it bluntly, it was as if he was Felix's son, but after his birth, he was left to starve to death.
At that time, Alexander couldn't even work as a servant at The Windsor Manor because, in name, he was still a young master of the Windsor family.
One can imagine how difficult Alexander's life was.
Later, Alexander was exiled abroad and forbidden to return. Surprisingly, his life became more comfortable because Esme had a good job abroad. It was then that he met his first bosom buddy, Gideon.
Alexander and Gideon joined a mercenary organization abroad and underwent the most rigorous training. During that time, Alexander saved Gideon's life, forging a life-saving bond between them.
Later, Gideon returned to the country to develop.
Alexander remained abroad.
After that, Alexander met Calvin, who was also down and out, almost killed by his family. At that time, Calvin was severely injured, barely clinging to life, with a large scar on his face.
It was Alexander who saved Calvin.
Alexander provided him with a place to stay. After recovering, Calvin fought back and reclaimed his family's business. At that time, Calvin didn't know that Alexander had been exiled by the entire Windsor family. After returning to the country, Calvin even went to the Windsor family to express his gratitude.
Then, Calvin was almost exploited by the Windsor family. At that time, he had to play along with the Windsor family to protect Alexander's life.
Later, Alexander met a very powerful figure, Caspian Talbot.
From then on, Alexander's circle of friends was formed. However, in Sunwillow City, the largest city in Cassarila, no one knew about it.
In the eyes of the Windsor family and Sunwillow City, Alexander was still the exiled, penniless illegitimate child left to fend for himself abroad.
They didn't know that Alexander had already started to quietly lay his plans.
During the early stages of Alexander's planning, Esme was sent to prison by Brent who saw Esme's success in architectural design abroad and feared that Alexander's existence would threaten him, so he targeted Esme first.
To avoid alerting anyone and to give Alexander a good chance to develop, Esme stayed in prison for several years.
During this time, Alexander advanced step by step.
Although on the surface he seemed worthless, even relying on servants for leftover food, in reality, the core high-level members of the Windsor Group had already been replaced by Alexander's people, his trusted subordinates.
So much so that six years ago, on the night when Alexander decided to strike back, he almost wiped out the entire Windsor family. However, the Windsor Group remained unaffected.
There was not a single ripple.
The Windsor Group changed hands overnight. Normally, this would cause a city-wide or even nationwide upheaval, but it didn't. On Alexander's first day at the Windsor Group, those in power greeted him like an old acquaintance, respectfully calling him, "Mr. Windsor."
From that moment on, Marcus and Alexander's father, Felix, realized that Alexander was not to be trifled with.
Although he wasn't in the Windsor Group, he had long since taken control of it. The Windsor family's rule that the family business would not be passed to illegitimate children who would not enjoy any family benefits was broken by Alexander.
After almost wiping out the Windsor family, leaving only Marcus, Amara, his father Felix, and Sierra, Alexander calmly said to Felix and Marcus, "I didn't choose to come into this world, and I didn't choose to be an illegitimate child. Since you gave birth to me, I must have the same rights as my half-brothers! Otherwise, don't have me! Of course, you've already paid the price. Now, it's too late for regrets. The only remedy is to never have another illegitimate child!"
Marcus and Felix felt endless regret upon hearing this.
They immediately acknowledged Alexander's existence, acknowledging him as the new head of the Windsor Group and a descendant of the Windsor family!
Alexander's success was due to his ruthlessness and leadership skills, but also because of the circle of friends he had built.
Everyone knew he was ruthless and unfeeling.
But in reality, which of his blood-related brothers had spared him? They had all participated in endless pursuits to kill him.
In contrast, the friends Alexander later made all risked their lives to help him, leading to his current glory and achievements. These people were also powerful figures in their own right.
Alexander controlled the core international metropolis of Sunwillow City, while Calvin controlled the southwestern region of Kateka, and Caspian dominated the industrial city. In the center was Gideon.
Together, the four of them were united and supportive of each other. In those days, no one dared to challenge them.
This is why Alexander was the top figure in Aldoria, with no one daring to provoke him.
The old aristocrats of Aldoria were insignificant in Alexander's eyes. Those who once tried to suppress and belittle Alexander now lived in constant fear.
Many of Sunwillow City's elite eagerly waited to befriend Alexander who rarely attended such gatherings.
Today was one of the rare occasions when he gathered with his good friends.
Another reason for this gathering was that he had finally found Elizabeth, whom he had been searching for six years.
He brought Elizabeth today to introduce her to his good buddies.
But what did Elizabeth say?
She was a bar girl?
